Hard to fault this purchase until you've had it a while. But then while the top shelf is roomier than its footprint, that makes it easy to tip over being a tripod. It did however arrive intact in perfect condition from Wayfair. The Allen wrench assembly was quick and easy for one person with good instructions. Matching one shelf tables over at Amazon have had BIG damage on delivery problems (including mine) with scratches and gouges and MANY disappointed customers. Over time that damage may prove to be characteristic of all of these tables as this wood is "man-made" and China's idea of what wood is seems to differ considerably from my own. When the soft thin laminate finish does chip off your best defense appears to be a crayon. Even with just normal light use MANY micro-scratches can be seen on the surfaces you might dare to actually use. Some kind of protector seems to be necessary to avoid impending uselessness. Ugh..I have four of them.
